Houston and Delmas MCL tears

[lions2011]

hopefully back sometime this year...but can't count on it , like Forte it's a 2 - 6 week rehab.


Louis Delmas - DB - Lions

Lions FS Louis Delmas and CB Chris Houston have both been diagnosed with MCL tears.
Houston's tear is Grade 2, similar to Matt Forte's injury. Both players are expected to return this season, though this week's game is in doubt. The Vikings may not be able to take advantage of the matchup upgrade with Christian Ponder's (hip) status in doubt.

Houston status is very disappointing to hear

This is why depth is more important than ever. Still need to add quality NFL players to this roster in the next off season. The guys on your practice squad can soon be your starters. This is disappointing though.

i thought the secondary played well for how horrid our pass rush has been the last 2 weeks.

We beat the Vikings last year without Stafford, Houston or Calvin Johnson. We better beat them this year again especially with Webb at QB for the Vikings.

Injuries on D are just killing us... Call me Capt Obvious i know. If we can get healthy for the playoffs we might be able to make some noise. Well unless were trying to make noise in Lambeau...

Webb? I mustve missed something, where is Ponder?

Ponder is hurt (hip pointer?). Hasn't practiced all week i guess.
